Do clay compounds contain glass?
Not ours. We cannot speak for all clay minerals, because there are thousands of clay types. However, we can tell you that ours contains no glass crystals. This question is listed here because some people believe that silicates are the same as glass. But while all glass is primarily silicon, not all silicon sources are glass. Actually, this question is about quartz, the key silicate mineral component in glass. Quartz is a specific silicon oxide crystal that is quite different from the clay minerals, including ION-MIN. Quartz is a hard six-sided clear crystalline compound that is common throughout the world, mainly in the form of common sand. Quartz is pure Si02 and clear. Impurities make it various colors, such as rose, smoky or milky colored. Quartz crystals are well known for their piezo-electric properties that create perfectly timed pulses to run our computers and wrist watches. Onyx, Jasper, Amethyst, and Tiger’s Eye are all quartz variations. CB/M is not quartz. While all silicate
